Erdogan recovers after health scare

 Having had to cancel a number of election rallies because of a gastrointestinal infection, Turkey's president used a video link today to open a new nuclear power station. In spite of his errors in micromanaging the economy, and the charges of corruption surrounding the fatal collapse of so much recent construction in this year's earthquakes, his opponent in the election of 16th May is reckoned to have only a slight lead in opinion ratings. Egypt, having only just resumed diplomatic relations with Turkey, will be watching anxiously, as will China.
